Zercher Squat

Instructions

1. Set a barbell at about belly-button height and cradle it in the crooks of your elbows, hands clasped to form a shelf against your stomach.
2. Brace your core, lift the bar out of the rack, and step back with feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Keep your chest tall and torso upright as you bend the knees and hips to descend into the squat.
4. Lower until your thighs are at least parallel, keeping your heels planted.
5. Drive through your heels to stand back up and exhale at the top.
